Custom stencils for fabric painting
With custom stencils, you transfer lettering, motifs or your own logo directly onto clothing and other textiles. You design your stencil individually and adapt it precisely to your project, whether you are working on a single item, a small series or a club project. Each stencil is reusable and supports consistent results for fabric painting on clothing.
Design & options
In the editor, you design your custom stencil freely. Choose from various fonts and motifs or upload your own logo or artwork. You define exactly which areas are cut out. The outer contour of the stencil follows the selected format, such as e.g. A4 or A5.

To ensure stability, the editor automatically adds bridges. These small connections link inner areas of letters like
"A", "O" or "R" to the surrounding material. Bridges are clearly visible in the preview and slightly influence the design.
Very fine details are only suitable to a limited extent, as narrow elements may tear during use.
If required, a protective margin of 2.3 cm is added automatically. This ensures sufficient distance between the
design and the stencil edge and helps prevent paint from bleeding.

Use on clothing and textiles
If you are working with fabric paint for the first time, take a look at our step-by-step guide for stenciling textiles. It provides important information on suitable fabrics and proper paint fixation.
Apply opaque, water-based textile paint with a stencil brush or roller. After drying, fix the design either in the oven
(8 minutes at 150° C) or with an iron (cotton setting, approx. 3-5 minutes). After proper fixation, the painted textile
is washable up to 40° C.
Clean the stencil immediately after use with lukewarm water to keep it dimensionally stable
and reusable.
Tip: Try out different sizes, fonts, designs, and logos in the preview to perfectly bring your individual DIY project to life.
Frequently asked questions about stencils
How do I fix fabric paint on clothing after stenciling?
After the paint has dried, fix the design with an iron or in the oven. Proper fixation ensures durability and wash resistance.
How do I clean reusable stencils?
Rinse the stencil with lukewarm water immediately after use. This prevents paint residue from drying and keeps the stencil reusable.
Why do stencils include bridges?
Bridges connect inner parts of letters or motifs to the main stencil. They ensure stability, especially for designs with enclosed shapes.
